She finished her relapse treatment November 2024 and is doing great! Brax knows first hand (over 200 nights spent on Floor 5) how critical of a role Child Family Life and areas such as Kyle Rudolph's End Zone, the Zucker Family Suite and Studio, and the "Row The Boat" Fleck Family Fund play in both the mental and physical recovery of cancer patients and she felt a strong desire to give back and help others going through similar fights and that is what TB1Fund is hoping to accomplish.

Brand new experience launching Fall of '24.
The Breakaway Club builds on the success of Braxton's Buddies (Vikings), the Rebound Club (Wolves) and now the Wild and other events held at the Xcel Energy Center. As we continue to grow, we want to continually expand our VIP offerings and the MN Wild was a perfect fit.
Each family is provided a VIP game experience in a Suite, along with a custom hoodie by UNRL, a Scheels gift card and Cub Zamboni ride!

Pilot program launching in 2024. In times of crisis, the last thing families should worry about is where their next meal will come from. Unfortunately, unforeseen challenges often place individuals and families in the heartbreaking position of struggling to put food on the table. That's why we're thrilled to create the Emergency Food Assistance Program Fund (EFAPF) at M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital.
The EFAPF is specifically tailored to provide immediate relief for patient families during their inpatient stay. We understand that hospitalization can be a stressful and overwhelming experience, and worrying about meals should not add to that burden. This program will offer the following benefits:
• Access to food pantries stocked with nutritious items.
• Cafeteria credits to ensure families can enjoy meals without financial strain.
• Provision of meals for families staying by their child's bedside.
• Assistance with grocery costs and other out-of-pocket food expenses incurred during hospitalization.
Back for Season 3! This program added in 2022 with iHeart and KFAN has become a signature offering. Brax's Buddies focuses on the story of a patient/family every home game during the Minnesota Viking's regular season with KFAN radio ads and social media attention.
In addition, each family is provided a VIP game experience in a Club or Suite to attend a home game and an exclusive Braxton's Buddies UNRL hoodie, SCHEELS gift card and gameday gear!
This experience builds on Brax's mission of brightening days by providing a unique on-air story, in addition to an elevated VIP gameday experience for the whole family.
Also, a special thank you to our partners that make this experience possible.
